AFTER a wet and chilly Schools Cross Country competition on Saturday at Sheldon School, Wiltshire Schools Athletics Association have announced the teams who will compete on February 2 in the Inter-County round.

Saturday's rather flat course produced few surprises, although there were some good performances and close finishes in several races.

Outstanding run of the day came, as expected, from Bea Wood from Godolphin School, Salisbury. The fastest girl in the country in her age group, she took the Intermediate Girls title in 14.00, a minute and 15 seconds ahead of the second placed runner, Caroline Brenchley, of St Mary's, Calne.

Dan Poynting of Bishop Wordsworth also put in a fine run to win the Senior Boys race in 22.31, by almost a minute from Ethan Pierce of Abbeyfield School, Chippenham.

Even after tackling the wet and muddy course some racers had the energy for a sprint finish. There were hotly contested results in the Intermediate Boys, where Ollie Campbell, of Malmesbury School, clocked 19:31 ahead of Bertie Pettit, of Trafalgar School, Downton's 19:33; in the Junior Boys, where Archie Loweth, of Marlborough College came in on 14.02, 0.1 of a second ahead of Guy Mitchell, of Bishop Wordsworth, Salisbury, and in the Minor Girls, where Dora West, of St Mary's, Calne and Hannah Norton, of South Wilts Grammar, deadheated on 9:26, Dora getting the race on the verdict of the line judges.

A 10-strong squad in each age group, with reserves where possible, will now go on to the Inter-County contest at Bath racecourse, hoping for success and progression to the National English Schools finals.
